USCIS here we come ! Free drawing! Needing a mommy

IVAN :) This brown eyed beauty has CP and will thrive at home with a loving family and treatments that are so easy to come by in our country.

SWEET!! He is about to age out of his baby house, and his Dr. is so very sad to see him sent to the mental institution where he will live a short life in a crib fed once or twice a day until he passes :( his Dr cried to a missionary worker to PLEASE FIND HIM A FAMILY TO SAVE HIS LIFE.

SO sad but true. Orphans live lives we DON'T want to think about. But we HAVE to . We have to do what GOD knows we can to HELP.

~In the past , well past adoptions that is, we have always waited until our scheduled appointments to head down to have our fingerprint apt. But I have learned that you can walk in, with your apt letter and they WILL TAKE YOU :) way cool. So we are heading down to get them done baby !! One more thing off our "to do" list to bring teeny Taya home :)If you follow me on FB you know we had some set backs this week when it comes to notary stamps :( but slowly by weeks end we should be back on track!! I couldn't believe the FDLE clearances came back with a notary stamp that expired in a couple months ! Well that wont work :) FREE DRAWING :)~Don't forget you can scroll down a couple posts, to see the link for our adoption store front. Get yourself a cool adoption related t-shirt for Guatemala, Ethiopia or Ukraine. Or a faith or orphan based shirt , and if you re post our link on fb or your blog by this weekend, you will be entered in the drawing to win a free tshirt of your choice from our storefront !!THEY ALL NEED A FAMILY :)~This little guy is beautiful and he needs a family. How stinking cute is this little beauty?? He is healthy but does have HIV. which in OUR country is NOT a big deal. This beautiful boy deserves a family and a LIFE. Are you his mommy? Would he be a perfect fit in YOUR family? Think about these kids. Pray for them. Please. :)

My baby struggling to survive 10/16/10

~Starfish~

2 friends were walking along the beach. The beach was littered with thousands of starfish that were drying up in the sun.As the 2 friends walked along,one of them bent down and picked up a starfish and carefully tossed it back to the sea. They could hardly walk without the man rescuing a poor starfish. As they continued , the one man asked his friend "why are you throwing these starfish back into the water? It doesnt matter" The friend smiled, As he tossed the starfish back to the sea , he simply said...

" It matters to this one."

Friends~
